Regional Softball Tournament starts tomorrow ... barred owls

This weekend has been very hot with temperatures up in the 90's ... not good for May and for the rest of the summer.

On Saturday, we had a player going back home after the "UP ALL NIGHT" graduation party at school fall asleep while driving and ran off the road flipping her SUV.  She had her seat belt on so survived with some bruising and cuts ... and we are thankful for that!

I, along with the other softball coaches attended the Region 4 softball draw at Warren East. Metcalfe County, the winner in District 16 drew us ... with Bowling Green on our side of the bracket.  Glasgow drew Greenwood which will be a tough first round draw for both teams.  While at the regional, if you lose one, you are out and on to summer vacation, jobs, summer ball, and more.  We have a chance to win our fourth regional title in a row ... we have beaten all the teams in the regional, losing only to Glasgow once out of three times we played them ... the District final.

Sue Neal and I mowed the lawns yesterday and John came over to spend the night.

Yesterday evening, I notice three barred owls (Strix varia) in a tree back of our house.  It may have been an adult and two juveniles on a hunting trip.  They were making some juvenile sounds for over an hour and were gone when I got up this morning.  At one point, they all three flew from one tree to another ... they were beautiful!  Link below if you want to hear the juvenile sounds, picture not mine but credited below.
